Gerrit Cole-apse: Is He Still An Ace?
There’s two weeks left in the regular season and Gerrit Cole is scheduled to make two more starts in that stretch. If that doesn’t make you nervous…..it should. He’s set to pitch against the Diamondbacks and the Rays. The last thing I am comfortable with right now is Cole pitching against the Rays in a game that could mean the difference in winning the division or just being a Wild Card.
What the hell is going on with Cole? The guy that was once our ace looks like a shell of himself. It’s hard not to ask some tough questions after watching him give up four home runs against the Padres and then three this past weekend against the Mets. This is definitely a problem that Matt Blake and the Yankees need to fix NOW.
The good news is, Cole knows he needs to make those adjustments, read more HERE. The bad news though? We are out of time to tinker with mechanics. Granted, Cole has historically been a quick study and has made adjustments quickly throughout his career but the Rays are around the corner. The Yankees are four games behind them and this four game series against them will be the difference between being a division winner or just securing an invitation to the postseason as a Wild Card. Everything is on the line.
So a short time line and a stumbling ace are not working in our favor. Ordinarily, we might be able to ride something out and exercise some patience but we don’t have that luxury. Cole is faltering at the wrong time. Right now, the Yankees best starters are Carlos Rodon, Max Fried and Cam Schlittler and the guy that is supposed to be the ace looks like he is a fourth or fifth starter.
Meanwhile, Schlittler is a favorite for Cy Young (as he should be) and is pulling the weight that a Ace should. It’s hard to watch the guy that has been the anchor of your rotation falter. It’s a reminder that at some point injuries or just age catch up to you and at a newly 36 years old, could we be seeing the start of his regression?
I hope now is not the time for the regression that comes for every great baseball player. But I have to ask at this point….is Cole still our ace? Is he still the guy that we can count on or is there a new Ace on this team?
